Youth for the Environment Day 2015 |

YOUTH FOR THE ENVIRONMENT DAY 2015 What did we achieve at the YED 2015? For starters, noting much we got the four major public universities in Singapore to agree to a Memorandum of Understanding that they would 'green' their campuses and work with each other towards a more sustainable and futuristically people-centred and student-centred Singapore! The first surefire way to start would be to encourage the usage of reusable containers to have takeaways! Most students are busy and usually use styrofoam boxes when ordering takeaways now this is bad for the environment! It contributes to greenhouse gases and kills the Earth's beauty when they are dumped! But people still use them.... But we are on the way to removing them from circulation....slowly but surely. To promote the use of reusable containers for food, we dcided to show what uses a container can have! You can cook an egg in it with a microwave, you can decorate it, and you can put your pins and needles in it when not using it for food! So fun, right? In fact, our event was also a carnival that added fun to the atmosphere with game stations that showed the many uses a container can have! At the end, there was a great buffet dinner for all. With food, fun, and games for all to learn, was YED 2015 a success? It was SO TOTALLY ONE! |

Well reported Bernard. All theses 4 univs are huge. They house thousands of students.
If they introduce reusable containers like you reported it will a great step towards sustainability.
We can save landfills.
Singapore is the only country to have its landfill outside. It is a small island & that too is full to the brim.
This is a great initiative indeed.

Thank you for the vivid report, it must have been like a happy festival :) Yes, while we accrue knowledge in the school, we make poor choices on using throwaway stuffs like disposable cups. I wish all the best this movement to be a norm in every campus in Singapore.
And congratualtions for your sweet first event as the Tunza Eco-generaiton Ambassador :)

Thanks for sharing Bernard! We've never heard of Youth for the Environment Day before though this campaign is such a big movement!! It seems that Singapore government is fully supporting this initiative, good for the universities and the government itself!!! Thanks for promoting Tunza Eco-generation in this huge event! :D

Getting commitment from 4 major universities to green their campuses is a good outcome of YED. Using reuseable containers in canteen etc is definitely a better option as compared to styrofoams .Thanks for sharing , Bernard.
